After Delay, Split FERC Accepts ISO-NE Order 1000 Filing

A divided Federal Energy Regulatory Commission last week accepted ISO-NE’s second regional compliance filing to implement Order 1000, a filing that had languished for more than a year while the commission had only four members (ER13-193, ER13-196).

FERC largely affirmed its May 2013 order accepting ISO-NE’s regional planning and cost allocation process. It found proposed revisions, filed by ISO-NE and the Participating Transmission Owners Administrative Committee in November 2013, largely complied with the directives in its first order, requiring the parties to make additional filings on some provisions.
